"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France

Pet Loss Support Group

When a pet dies, the pain is heartbreaking and the grief is often not understood by those around us. The bond between a human being and a companion animal is invaluable. Pets provide consistency and unconditional love, essential elements for emotional stability that even humans may not be able to give to one another. Mourning is important for healing. This support group is created for you to:

Share your story with other pet owners who care about your feelings and experience

Learn coping skills

Co-create a ritual to say good-bye
